We ate outside at Market Street Diner in Feb. never thought about mosquitos, our ankles were bitten to shreds! The afterbite cream from Dollar Tree was surprisingly good!

We usually go in October and I don't think I've ever seen a mosquito apart from when getting the boat from MK to the Poly last year at night. Never been bitten though.

generally, as long as you avoid hanging around near water (which is kinda hard in florida, as its all marshland!), you should be ok, but in sept/oct, you *definitely* need some spray! especially if you go on a boat tour or to the drive-in cinema

you might be ok in december, but i'd take some (or buy some there) anyway.

Ironically we went in September for the first time this year and none of us got bitten at all, yet in May/June/July when we normally go we are all bitten lol!

I get eaten alive in Spain so always take the anti-mozzie spray and an anti-histamine. Will definitely be prepared for Orlando in the summer!

I'm always eaten by them however when I went to Florida in the summer I got one bite! Waiting for a bus at Epcot.
